the summer after finishing university in New York, Marinette gets invited to a camping trip with Alya and Nino and his best friend. which, honestly, is for the best. at least she has more time than the four years she's already had to figure out how to reach out to her one-time superhero partner, with whom she fell out of touch after the reveal.

only, it's Adrien Agreste waiting for them on the meeting point, beaming so hard at her that it's blatantly obvious they know each other well. in her panic, what is Marinette supposed to tell Alya and Nino to protect their identites, if not that they used to date?

(fake exes AU x there was only one tent)

#miraculous ladybug #writing prompt #ladynoir #adrinette #if you thought fake-dating was ridiculous enough get ready for: fake exes!! #Adrien is sunshine. his lady!! he's so happy to see her again!!! but also she did kind of ghost him for years is she mad at him? #Marinette is dying inside. maybe this would be easier if she ever fell out of love with Chat Noir and not just dated for sport during her B #Alya doesn't understand how could her best friend hide a relationship all throughout highschool but she wants to know all about it! #Nino's pretty sure Adrien is still in love with Nette which makes everything so much more complicated. couldn't they just stargaze in peace #I'm clearly having a lot of thoughts about it but I also do not think this is getting written unfortunately #poor boy sitting in my drafts for a year now. someone liberate him!!

speaking of fucked up overly hated female twdg characters i find it Super Interesting how people will say carver was the best villain in the whole series, but when lilly is literally just a successful carver (iron fist leader of a community turning children into soldiers) suddenly shes a bad/lame villain for some reason 🤔

#twdg #hmm im sure this has nothing to do with the fact shes a woman (a woman that a lot of people hated since S1) #AND they gave her a giant boat? thats funny #LIKE if they did originally plan to have kenny be carver in S2 she is LITERALLY JUST THAT IDEA but the woman version of it #also i find it interesting that her speech about larry and the lights is reminiscent of that first convo between shane and rick in the show #i happened to like S1 lilly for the most part and felt her evolution in S4 made perfect sense #she hated being questioned. wanted total authority. ex military and so used to dealing with military types. family/loyalty important to her #which is why her and clem meeting again and clashing heads is so narratively interesting #is this person your family? can you bring them to your side? are they even the same person? when do you let go? #so many themes in S4 mmm yummy #a theme vi/minnie share too #and mitch brings up the sentiment while burning ms martin #but yeah im in the 'lilly was actually the best villain in the whole series' camp i wonder whos in here with me. is it quiet in here #it wouldve been nice to see more of the delta... unfortunately if things needed to be cut its understandable why it was #you dont NEED to know more about the delta than whats been told #but i would like to 😔 #like could we have been given more fleshing out of her character? sure. do we actually NEED it? no #it speaks

yall I want TDS3 tickets so badly 😭 but I don't know who to even go with and I'm not going by myself.... but I'm also seriously thinking I'm just gonna go ahead and try to get tickets on friday anyway

#last year i went with my mom and she enjoyed it #but im not entirely sure she wants to go again #and then my best friend doesn't like kpop at all lmao #but I don't know i might be able to get her to go w me but #i dont know how she'll feel about the traveling in chicago by ourselves thing #bc when we last went there together for a concert we were with her ex and he did the driving #so my last option is my brother lol because i asked the other day if he wants to go to chicago #and he did say yes so i told him attendance at the concert is mandatory #kpop is also absolutely not his genre of music #even though he listens to a little bit of a lot of stuff like country and pop and broadway musicals #like dude you'd love the theatrics of kpop and the gaybaiting they do? thats something he might like #and then one of my choices was my moms best friend bc she said after she saw my moms videos of tds2 #that she wanted to go see a kpop concert because she loves showmanship so she saw the eras tour and #fell in love so i think she would like kpop. she loved the wrist light things TS did so lightsticks are definitely #something she'd enjoy and the choreography #i really think it's just the language barrier that's preventing my brother and best friend from wanting to go #and the language barrier that keeps my mom and her best friend from probably enjoying the music as much #because my mom loved one direction so a kpop boyband isn't too far off from that #oh also i think my friend will tell me no because i've already turned her down for plans like a week or two before that #because i won't have PTO to use at work because i'll have just gotten back from a vacay that uses i all #and then i'm gonna turn around and take 2 days off for a concert (travel time sucks)

Logged into my original facebook account that I rarely look at anymore and realized my childhood best friend liked a post from 2017. I last updated that account in 2018 so that's not too crazy. No friend request. I'm guessing she didn't realize she liked it and that I've realized she looked me up. I was only facebook friends with the brother out of that sibling group and wondered if she found me through him. Nope. He's deactivated. My last name isn't on the account so I'm not even sure how she found me. She doesn't have the email tied to it. I'm guessing they all probably looked me up before he deactivated and she remembered the name.

We lived across the street from each other in Miami. I met her when I was 10. She is 3 years younger than me and has 4 siblings. The youngest (the boy) was born in 1985 or 86. I was there when the second youngest walked her first steps. We ended up being roommates for a year at UNC. Her family had moved to NC in 1990, which is what had me looking at schools in that area in general.

In 1985 ish, a male cousin from Pakistan came to live with them. He was in his 20s, weird/ awkward and would try to flirt with me. I was 11/ 12. ELEVEN OR TWELVE. This continued on until he left. He even tried to get me to come into his room so he could "show me something". He said this with the other 2 older girls around. We all pretty much jeered at him and he went away. Sometime in 1986 or 87, he moved out. I learned that he had been trying to get into the two youngest gal's rooms at night. The ex best friend told me that they would sleep with shoes to throw at him. The mom found out what was going on and he had to leave.

Fast forward to when we were all adults. I learned that it was not only the cousin, but that he and their father had been actually assaulting the two youngest girls during that time period. It wasn't just attempted abuse. They were maybe 8 (3rd oldest) and 5 (4th oldest) at the time. After that was discovered, the mom still stayed with him.

3rd oldest got heavy into drugs and alcohol because of it, but we didn't know that at the time. We all just thought she liked being an edgy emo girl or whatever we as teens called it back then. I remember we really were annoyed by her being a drunk fuck up, but didn't realize she was coping from that trauma.

I went to my ex friend's wedding in 2004. I remember being pissed that 3rd oldest drank most of the bottle of Kahlua I had gotten them, so I don't think we knew yet about the abuse now that I'm typing and trying to remember. We learned after the wedding.

When I learned ex best friend and her husband were trying for kids, I was surprised that they were going to keep her father in their lives knowing what happened. Granted, it didn't happen to her so I'm not sure if that was the reasoning. I just couldn't keep interacting with that level of toxicity after a while. There were also other things that happened that added to the distancing, but I don't think I could've continued to pretend everything was ok after learning those awful facts. I last saw them in 2004. Our last email was in 2007. I never met any of her kids or any of the other siblings' kids.

I found the 3rd oldest girl's facebook a while back and she was not friends on facebook with her dad but other siblings were. It looked she got cleaned up. The last time she visited us in GA, the girls had taken the car to get serviced at Sears and they were all freaking out because 3rd oldest left cocaine somewhere in the car.

The mom had gone back to her maiden name on facebook but she still interacts with her (ex?) husband. And they all still all get together for holidays. I saw a couple of public pictures today of everybody and was just sickened by younger daughters near their pedo / abusive grandfather. I don't get it and it's not really for me to get, I guess. Everyone has their own fucked up family drama at varying levels.

I don't really feel any kind of way about this. I've wondered about how they all are in the past but have no need to reach out to rekindle anything.

#other things were that 2nd oldest told me she got married via email #I was really hurt and told her about that. It was an impromptu wedding #I think I just realized that the friendships were unbalanced and maybe I was inviting myself where I wasn't wanted idk #the gross cousin married another cousin that grew up in England #weird but no weird for them. I'm not sure if it's a Pakistan thing or what #They have 3 girls and ex best friend told me they tried to tell her what happened when they were younger but they were not believed #which I mean do you want to believe your husband is an abusive pedo? prob not #ugh

i’m here for the grandma. prepare to hand her over. i love her and i haven’t even met her

[this is relating to the pride post]

lol welcome, new cousin! I won't hand her over but I will share her, she's a pretty great grandma Some more grandma stories: - she calls getting minor but ridiculous injuries "pulling a TJ" (I was ridiculously clumsy as a kid and am still fairly accident-prone) so she'll call me up and say "Do you want to hear about the TJ I just pulled?". Her latest one was trying to dump the kitchen trash into the outdoor trash can without having to take the bag out of the kitchen trash can by hoisting the kitchen trash can up onto her porch railing and "letting gravity help". She fell halfway into the outdoor trash can (she's okay! she was laughing when she called me) - she feeds stray cats (and occasionally accidentally stray raccoons) and works with the local animal shelters to try to get the kittens acclimated to people and adopted, and she mostly names them after characters from old westerns but also treats some of them like a soap opera? She tells me about all the drama going on in the local stray cat population at least once a week - Her best friend since like the 70s was a butch lesbian named Lottie. Lottie was best friends with both my grandparents, and they moved cross country multiple times to be neighbors. Lottie passed away before I was born but my grandma still considers her the best friend she ever had - My grandma was part of a "hair color of the month" club and I genuinely do not know what her natural hair color was before it turned white

#ask away! #my-beloved-fandoms #the person behind the yarn #grandma was not always a wonderful parent but she's a pretty great grandparent #and I do think she did her best #and loves all her kids (and grandkids and great grandkids) so much #both bio kids and informally adopted kids #and step-grand-kids and ex-son-in-laws #she does not make any distinctions between the parts of her family born into it and the parts of it she chose #she can't always keep it straight which grandkid did which thing as a kid #but like...I think between grandkids and great grands she has like 30-40 of us to keep track of? #I don't know for sure because I still haven't figured out who Kevin is #there's some kid in Texas I am related to somehow (and also I am presumably related to his parents) #and she asked me to make a stuffed animal for him and she mailed it to him #and I do not know who he is???? at all! no idea. I think he might have siblings now (this was a few years ago) #she knows! I do not lol

[snarkythewoecrow]

okay, so writing update, i have been doing it! headway is being made on the hob/dream fic, you know, the one with all the tropes and hurt/comfort and shit

words are definitely flowing and shit is tightening up, coming together, the mess i puked into these various docs is now congealing into something pretty fucking great if i say so myself

working through older sections atm and trimming and shaping things to tell the story, now that the word vomit phase is mostly over

(i tend to make the absolutely most disgusting mess in my docs, all the ideas, before coming back later and trimming the overgrown shit into something pretty)

And speaking of pretty things, take a look at the a bit of the second draft of the Dream meeting with Calliope again scene, seeking her advice regarding how to help Hob.

@thefangirloutof-time @kydrogendragon @buckybeardreams @psychiccatpanda

No warnings for this snippet

Her presence in the Dreaming once again ached—their love had left a bruise that would likely linger until the last dreamer stepped into the sunless lands.

Fiddler’s Green seemed uniquely suited for this reunion, as a place they’d forgotten themselves, and occasionally, neglected to remember, sentient and prone to modest notions—his creation had once even lengthened the soft grass just to better conceal their bodies.

Calliope stood beneath a lone tree, an oddly placed bald cypress standing tall on a knoll amongst the wildflowers, entirely out of place in the scenery. The enormous base more a cluster of roots than simple trunk, each tendril pressing against the next before diving into the earth. Above, Spanish moss swayed from its branches in great heaping clumps, while its feathery, frond-like foliage stretched to the sun on irregular limbs.

His eyes followed her delicate fingers as they skimmed over the hills and valleys of the base that nearly dwarfed her.

And no, the symbolism hadn’t been lost on him—that of all things that could have appeared beside her here, it would be an ancient cypress that had taken root--a species that carried many meanings—most markedly, a symbol of death and the grief that followed it.

It was no secret why she stood within its graces now, as it reached for the skies of the Dreaming, weeping for them both.

The sight had an old--yet never forgotten--not even for a moment--pain lodging in his lungs, making his breath hitch, forcing his jaw to clamp tight before he cleared his throat, choosing not to face those particular memories right then.

Seeming to have heard him, Calliope turned. Some of the tension easing in his chest at seeing the light had returned to her eyes.

Then with a soft, indulgent shake of the head, she smiled. Just as stunning as always.

#the sandman #dreamling #my wips #snark writes #calliope is the best ex and friend you could ask for #i seriously adore her #and she is just what dream needs to get his head in the game #also this fic is now 13k and still has about 5k more to go i think #not sure if i should chapter it or not #i personally loathe the idea of chapters but feel it may be required here #if it is i will post them in one big batch #but we can cross that bridge when we get there #snippets #writing updates #🐦‍⬛

#fire emblem #feh #i NEED to make art of askr 'extended' family SOOOOOOO BAD #it's still the funniest fucking thing imaginable to me though. like. could you imagine. #you grow up just you and your sibling and like. that's pretty much what you expect forever. #then you die and come back wrong and whoops. your sister has claimed him to be her brother now. #he also has a sister in tow. #you try to carry on like it's normal but the. you find out your sister has been swapping places w her childhood friend #so much so you're not even sure in your memories which one was which. where she ended and the other began. #she also has a sister in tow. and her sister has a sister. and she's also been like an older sister to another girl. #also you've p much adopted your best friend's/boyfriend's/exe's/it's complicated little sister while he's on some gayass journey #yes that one likes to bite you. but it's okay. it's not even that painful. it's fine. #I NEED TO DRAW THEM ALL TOGETHER SO FUCKING BAD............ #fe alfonse

i dunno if this is like weird advice to give, but for anyone who is or has a partner/friend/etc. who's interested in a threesome (or more), you gotta make sure that everyone involved is emotionally ready for that. if you or someone else might get jealous, then just don't do it. don't lie and say you're ready just because you wanna make your partner happy, or because of peer pressure, or even just because you're attracted to someone involved, etc., if you're having any doubts at all then just say so. this is something you need to discuss thoroughly beforehand. jealousy or any other sort of emotional discomfort during group sex WILL negatively affect your relationship(s) with whoever's involved. if sex is an experience that's very important and personal to you and you're not ready to share that with someone other than your partner(s) then there's no shame in turning it down. a good partner wouldn't be upset by you setting boundaries. your comfort is more important than the opportunity to have a threesome

#sorry if this is too personal/tmi or whatever but i was just thinking about one of my exes and like #i asked her many times beforehand if she was okay with it. i really really wanted to make sure she was comfortable. she told me she was #but it still made her jealous and that did irreparable damage to our relationship. i could tell pretty quickly that it was a mistake #and yeah we don't talk anymore for mostly unrelated reasons (i unfortunately learned she wasn't a great person) but i still regret that #i could see after we broke up (which was mutual because we were....not as compatible as we thought. as mentioned above) #that she was always going out of her comfort zone to try to make me happy. and i genuinely feel bad about that. i would never ask for that #i wouldn't have been upset if she told me she wasn't sure about it because i don't wanna put anyone in an uncomfortable situation like that #anyway this was like. 9 or so years ago at this point. i still wanna apologize to her but i feel like it'd be weird to bring up y'know #but yeah i just want ppl to know this kinda stuff is avoidable if you have a truly honest discussion beforehand #and if there's any doubt at all then it's best to just not go through with it because your feelings could change at any moment tbh #but if you're all emotionally prepared then threesomes can be great ! exhausting but that's a given lmao

people expect nancy to be mike's mom more than they expect joyce to be jonathan's

#people being bylers #it's probably partly because jonathan looks 30 because well charlie is but. #while nancy and mike barely interacting is a shame their dynamic being different from will and jonathan's (different meaning more normal #lol like if you're saying you want them to be closer as siblings you should probably aim for lucas and erica closeness not for parentified #sibling-younger sibling he half raised closeness) #is interesting without even needing to be pathologized especially when the pathologizing usually leads to: nancy sucks as a sister #compared to her boyfriend #their relationship is so standard would i like more mike/nancy interactions yes would i like for nancy to be like omg mike how could i have #failed to see that you're gay and going through something. not really no #not everyone needs to apologize to mike like shut up #like i'm sure you can make posts about their relationship without making 'nancy needs to be a better older sister' the conclusion #saying people want el to be his ex-girlfriend best friend mother sister and therapist is what made me think about this because they also #want his sister to be like a mother to him lol #with joyce and jonathan it's just kinda crazy #and like i say: brf slt

So I just want readers of the Dream/Hob Arranged Marriage AU I'm writing to know that

Subsequent chapters will also be absolutely filthy (and I am having a wonderful time writing them as such)

There will probably be more "subsequent chapters" than I expected (because I am having a wonderful time writing the two of them in love/in a "fake" marriage with real feelings/did I mention very in love)

#dreamling #i'm not even sure arranged marriage au is the best term for it #maybe fake marriage is more accurate #and it's canon divergence Dream still has his powers etc #but usually writing smut is a slog for me i dunno why I'm having so much fun with these two #calliope smiles on writers getting her ex husband laid I guess

thought about amecan so much in the shower i literally threw up

#shut up luci #delete later #i was trying to brainstorm ideas for a scene with them along together and it was making my stomach churn and i realized #im just blatantly projecting my ex best friend slash eternal tormentor onto her #i hate her so much now and shes not even hot shes grown up uglyyyy. so win for me i guess. #i hope all main character best friends die tbh. sidekick best friends rise up! nothing to lose but our chains besties! #wowww i still care all these years later kinda pathetic lmao just get over it <- her voice still lives in my head mocking me every day #Sure. Suuuuure. Ok yeah sure I believe you. Why are you getting so worked up lmao? You're just mad I'm right. <- every single fucking day wi #th this bitch honestly. hate hate hate hate hate #i hope her life is even shittier now. genuinely i hope she is miserable.

#my twenties tag #this about the fact that after being thoroughly fucked over by an ex best friend i have remembered to delete her birthday from my calendar #reminders and made sure to create better and more effective reminders for the birthdays of all my friends she got weird and jealous about #because she’s a ducking child who resented that i had more than one close friend #she really thought i’d feel guilty but baby girl… i am THOROUGH i am DETAILED. i removed you on every social platform including costar when #it finally sunk in that you really didn’t give a shit about me #the ease with which i removed her from my life because the only thing she was regularly contributing was fucking stress and anxiety #sorry babe! it’s very easy to live without you because you were mostly a fucking asshole who made me feel guilty for having functional #friendships and a low social battery

[rad-claid-plaid]

when I was a teenager, my school had an orchestra that was the most prestigious of the music programs there. You had to get auditioned and placed, whereas the other programs were opt-in. along with that orchestra, we had uniforms. Weird, low cut but floor length black dresses for the women, and tuxes for the men.

My girlfriend when I was 16/17 was trans identified, and a fantastic musician. When I asked why she didn't join the ensemble, there was one answer: the uniforms. She wouldn't join because she'd have to wear a dress. This was before being trans was a cool in-group where everyone had to bend to your will or face repercussions.

She wasn't "out" to anyone in that school as trans, except to a handful of close friends. I don't think there were any procedures in place for that sort of thing, so it was likely just up to whether tolerant teachers would play along or not. After a lengthy discussion with the directors, it was clear: if you're a woman, you MUST wear the dress. You have to. You cannot wear a tux. My friends and I commiserated with her, crying out transphobia.

Looking back, that's not the case. It's sexism. It's that the girls had to wear uncomfortable, itchy dresses, tripping over the long skirt, but with our entire top of our chests bare. I always felt it a shame that nobody was allowed to wear the uniform they wanted, or even more ideally, the sexist dresses removed and everyone wears tuxes.

Looking back, I realize that regardless of my ex's dysphoria, the fact that anyone who was a woman being forced into the secondary, non default, non neutral uniform instead of a tux that could fit everyone was hurting all of the girls at the school. We've seen stories of the girls who aren't allowed to wear pants under their graduation gowns or women who are mandated to wear heels to work. It's deeply misogynistic to force any and every woman into these roles, especially with no allowance to wear the more comfortable option. For every GNC woman, for every woman who doesn't want to wear a dress, for every woman who finds that dress uncomfortable, or for any reason at all.

#im not quite sure what the point of this is except for thr fact that i remembered the dress debacle after reading a post here about #gendered uniforms #i went to a rural conservstive poor school and my social circle kept my ex's trans status on LOCKDOWN like nobody could know #in the early twenty teens it wasnt fashionable to be trans. at least there. #i havent heard about or from her in about 6 years. she was deeply unwell (for other reasons) #i hope she got the help she needed and is living a good life. like even tho she deeply traumatized me i still wish the best #she was one of my best friends for many years before we dated. #im just speculating but this was before being trans was a social contagion so i think she was genuinely dysphoric and idk. #plaid.txt
